Magnesium pins for hammertoe correction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests pins made of a special magnesium alloy that may dissolve over time, which could avoid the need for a second surgery to remove them. It is for people having surgery to fix a hammertoe, a condition where a toe bends downward like a claw.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how different treatments affect walking in people with hammertoe and nerve damage in their feet. It may help find better ways to improve foot function and comfort.
This study looks at whether a minor procedure on a toe (called a flexor tenotomy) can reduce the chance that diabetic toe ulcers come back. It is for adults with diabetes who have nerve damage in the feet and have had toe ulcers before.
This trial tests an investigational treatment called KN3835 for flexible or semi-flexible hammertoe, a condition where one of your toe joints bends downward. The treatment is given as an injection and may help straighten the toe and reduce pain.
This study tests small magnesium pins that dissolve over time, used to hold a membrane in place during a sinus lift procedure to build up bone for dental implants. It may help people who don't have enough bone in their upper jaw to get implants.
This study checks the long-term safety of a treatment called KN3835 for people who had hammertoe. It is for those who already finished a previous study and want to see if the treatment remains safe over time.
This trial tests a new type of small pin, called the RemeOs DrillPin, used to fix a broken bone in the forearm near the wrist in children. The pin is designed to dissolve over time, which may mean no second surgery to remove it.
